Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Phil Davis continued his winning streak this past weekend by defeating Julius Anglickas by unanimous decision. He was extremely dominant and aside from a few moments, won the fight decisively.

After beating another top light heavyweight, there are questions regarding what could be next for Davis. He might not necessarily get the next title shot against the winner of the light heavyweight Grand Prix finals. He lost to Vadim Nemkov twice and depending on what happens, a rematch could be booked if Corey Anderson wins.

Regardless of whether Davis gets a title shot or not, there are still exciting fights for him at light heavyweight. There are also heavyweight bouts that could be appealing if he decides to attempt to make the move. This list will look at five possible opponents for Phil Davis after his latest Bellator win.

#5. Bellator light heavyweight - Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson

Bellator generated plenty of interest when they signed former UFC title challenger Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson. He earned a reputation as being one of the most feared knockout artists in MMA. He was originally scheduled to fight light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov in the semifinals of the Grand Prix, but was forced to withdraw due to an illness.

Johnson and Davis are no strangers to one another. They fought in the co-main event at UFC 172, which saw Johnson earn a unanimous decision win. Perhaps if 'Mr. Wonderful' doesn't get the next title shot, he might be motivated by the idea of avenging a loss. The bout taking place will obviously depend on whether 'Rumble' gets cleared.

'Rumble' debuted in the promotion last year when he knocked out Jose Augusto in the opening round of the Grand Prix. It'd be interesting to see how Davis would fare in a rematch as his striking has improved since they last fought.
